(June 14, 2023 | Pastor Andrew McGregor) Do you find yourself holding misconceptions about God? Have you ever found yourself to be disappointed, angry, or frustrated with God when life is painful or difficult? Perhaps, deep down, you believe that surrendering your life to Jesus means an effortless path filled with comfort and fulfillment. Often, our preconceived notions and expectations can cloud our understanding of who Jesus truly is and the magnitude of His power and purpose. As we continue our journey through the Book of Mark, Jesus reminds us that he's not here simply to make us comfortable but to offer us freedom from the illusion that our security is in our finances, or that more things or experiences are what will satisfy. God extends His grace and invites us into an abundant and everlasting life. Are we willing to offer Him all that we have so that His presence can transform our lives and perspectives?
